2014 BMW 225 2.0L Diesel · B7 MWJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT test on 18 May 2026 at 89,737 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though a recent failure occurred just three days prior to the pass at 89,703 miles due to a structural bulge in the nearside rear tyre. While this specific defect was rectified, the proximity of failure and pass suggests the current owner is attentive to addressing safety-critical faults immediately during the testing process. The mileage pattern is consistent with a typical-use vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per annum. Between May 2023 and May 2026, the car covered 16,766 miles, showing a steady usage profile rather than long periods of neglect or excessive spikes. This moderate mileage suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to extreme high-stress environments, though the twelve-year age of the chassis means that rubber components and seals may degrade over time regardless of distance traveled. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the suspension and wheel assemblies based on previous records. The 2023 test at 72,971 miles identified a worn nearside front lower suspension arm bush, which should be checked for further play or perished rubber. Furthermore, the 2024 test at 78,200 miles flagged slight distortions across three separate road wheels. This often indicates significant curb strikes or heavy impacts, which could have compromised the alignment or stressed the integrity of the steering components. Verify that there are no vibrations at motorway speeds and ensure the recent wheel distortions have not caused underlying mechanical damage.
